How much for a CPAP machine? |
my mom has sleep apnea.She needs a CPAP machine,but her insurance wont cover for it.How much does one cost and any advice on anything else she can do to get relief from her sleep apnea,it's geting bad.thanks for your help! You should explore other insurance cos., as well as with your broker and our state's insurance regulatory agency. CPAP is very much part of normative medicine, and you should be able to get insurance to pay for it, $500 - 700 My friends uses one and I think they are close to $400-$500. Look on Ebay and see if you can find a used one. Just get a new mask. wat are you talking about? About $500. Will her insurance cover the surgery? She wouldn't need the machine then. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_apnea I have seen them from about 400 dollars up. Although there are many good machines on the market I recomend the remstar pro.I have seen them on e-bay for about six hundred dollars [used machine].New ones are around twenty five hundred I believe.If she has a prescription for one you might check with a hospitial to see if they would have a slightly used one for cheap. My unit is a ResMed elite - it runs ~550 without the humidifier or mask. Perhaps, if you spoke with them, they'd be able to help you deal with your insurance company... |
